A GIRL & HER DOG..

This is Abbey and her pup McCoy. She met us as we pulled into her hometown of Grand Haven on Lake Michigan where we were going to spend a few days with her and her family. Abbey is a super photographer (I am seriously always blown away by what she is doing) who we met on the internet and have been emailing/tweeting/blog commenting buddies for what feels like forever..... it was so so nice to finally get to meet in real life and hang out a bit! Abbey loves her dog, which is another thing I love about her, and he was our constant companion while we were there (he even maybe got his paws on/destroyed one of our polaroids we snapped together, haha). We're so glad to know her and that she invited us to stay on our trip west :)November in Michigan and the sun was out full force, we really couldn't believe it. So we walked by the lake, sat in the sun's rays and then later watched as it set over the beach. The next day we got to spend documenting her family, which I can't wait to share here after the weekend. But until then, here's our day out by the lake with our beautiful friend and her dog :)Grand Haven, MI // November 2012(photographed as a part of our ‘roads less traveled’ road trip to california… to read more about the idea behind the trip, read this post or this post)
